KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's lawyer has demanded that he be immediately transferred from Kajang Prison to house arrest following Istana Negara's clarification that all conditions of his conditional royal pardon have been fulfilled.
Muhammad Farhan Muhammad Shafee, a member of Najib's legal team, said there was no longer any basis for the authorities to keep Najib at Kajang Prison.
"They must transfer him immediately to his residence at Jalan Langgak Duta to serve his house arrest, as His Majesty has ordered," he said in a statement.
Farhan also expressed gratitude to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ibrahim, for clarifying the royal pardon.
